Hello.
My question is simple, what happen to Internet Exporer, after instaling Firefox. And, it is better ?.

Nothing ,you will still be able to usw IE,as a mater of fact you will have to use IE to get Windows updates .and Firefox is a really good browser ,I use both ,you can actually use both at the Same Time !

Nothing will happen to ie if you install firefox. Which is better?? Try both and use your own oppinion. Its like asking which is better, pepsi or coke. Its a personal choice. Just dont buy the hype fire fox is more secure. The best security is knowledge,common sense,and finding correct information. Dont be afraid to try other browsers as well. Lots to choose from. All free. Try em and pick the best one for you and your needs. Have a nice day.

Actually, firefox is more secure.

Security holes/flaws in browser program code aside, the simple fact is that third-party browsers such as Firefox present much less of an avenue of attack because they operate at the application layer; they simply do not have the system level access rights that are so often exploited in Internet Explorer.

A good explantion of this can be found here:

Thank you for the link. I have seen that before. Most problems that people run into such as virus, spy ware and such have nothing to do with which browser they use. I speak in general. General speaking thats just the case. Most problems are not caused by which browser they use. Allot of major issues are caused both by p2p or "free ware" which is add supported in most cases. Allot can be accounted for as simple human greed or error. The big thing of late is wireless. Now thats security issues. To make such a huge statement as this is way more secure than that in my humble opinion is wrong. Its using fear. To many average users buy into that use fire fox and think they are bulletproof. Nothing is 100 percent. For most people. IE or Fire fox Or opera will work for them just fine. Myself I have used nothing but IE and no problems. Set IE to default security wise and your fine. I had to change some of my ie settings because it was to secure and would not let me download a file I wanted. Just my 2 cents. Have a nice day.

Thank to every body.

helloimtim, that's just plain wrong!

Yes, but tell us how you really feel, Catweazle.

:cheesy:

I already did, DMR, by posting and stickying this topic.

Sorry to intrude in such an off-topic way in this forum section, but seriously, 90% of the problems encountered in this section and in the 'Viruses and nasties' section could be avoided by changing browsers and discontinuing the use of Internet Explorer!

No intrution whatsoever; I was just "tweaking" you a bit just for the fun of it.

Seriously though- both my online and "real life" work as a computer consultant/troubleshooter have proven to me that what I (and you) have said concerning IE is true and valid. I've also been doing online support long enough that I've learned to not get very involved in the "flame wars" that might arise as a result of my posting my opinions....
